Advance gave me a terrible service when my brand new Sigma 10 had the leading edge plastic rods all bent over, and him specifically, Valery Chapuis kept arguing it wasn't a defect, that the rods would get in place when the wing is inflated, which is stupid in my opinion. Me and my reseller had to fight a lot to get a new one, which was not perfect as well, but more acceptable. The purpose of those rods is to provide and maintain the leading edge shape, so that in case of inner pressure loss it maintains the profile in a proper shape, and delays collapses and in case of collapse it re-inflate faster. What's the point having leading edge rods if they bend downwards when the inner pressure diminishes? Who wish to fly a wing that risks to undergo accelerated collapses? He never answered those basic questions. I'm glad you had an excellent customer service, personally I will never buy Advance products again with my experience.
Valery such a wise and humble person. Advance has excellent customer service! STAY THUNED! :D

maybe I didn’t understand something, but why are they talking about OXA 5 when they didn’t release OXA4?
OXA 4 is and will not be available for public. The new OMEGA ULS (OXA5) should be available for public around mid 2023 in 4 sizes.
